Casual gamers have to deliberately carve out special time in their week to play games. We should have known, growing up playing 2-bit games and blowing the dust out of our gaming cartridges, that the good life of an afternoon full of gameplay was too good to be true forever. Alas, as adults, we need to prioritize our gaming just to squeeze an hour of open-world exploration into our schedule. 

Being an adult gamer can be disappointing, but when the loot box of life opens up and the stars align, we get to play our favorite games and it's suddenly all worth it.

  • We may not have the new Switch, and we're still operating from a regular gaming computer or a PS4, but at least we'll never be a mobile game player. There's no honor in mobile gaming unless you're sitting on the porcelain throne or trapped on a transatlantic flight. Casual gamers can all admit that phone games don't scratch the itch quite like a game with a controller and real buttons. There's nothing like the haptic feedback of a good attack sequence, and nobody can take that away from a gamer.
